Nightmare: An Identity Theft Poem
Wanda Witherspoon, an Identity Theft Coordinator at Worldwide Assistance, has written a poem that puts the thoughts and feelings of an identity theft victim into words.
Nightmare
Such a simple thing to forget your case,
Rushing about in a hurried pace;
But what you leave behind is often seen
By those who don’t care about anything.
They steal that case and rush about too;
Selling your belongings to who knows who,
They sit in a room in another town
Writing your name till they get it down,
Though they may not look a bit like you
The signature alone will get them through.
And that someone begins to live very well
While poor you begins a descent to hell.
Buying cars and boats
Houses and coats
Hairdo’s and trips
Even casino chips!
Listen to someone who knows
Identity theft is a mighty blow;
All your life you’ll think of that day
Nightmares, you see, are made that way!
